I mind looking into this before with Jordan Rossiter - apparently, for a club to get an insurance payout, the player basically has to admit he'll never play again and that his career is fucked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Christopher Jullien will go down as the most expensive signing in Scottish football history. I just find the idea of Wikipedia as specifically a data source quite funny. It's so caveated around reported figures and, as he says himself, inflation, that it's not really a worthwhile comparison to even attempt imo. 1 minute ago, G51 said: I mind looking into this before with Jordan Rossiter - apparently, for a club to get an insurance payout, the player basically has to admit he'll never play again and that his career is fucked.

He also effectively guaranteed European football after Xmas with a late winner against Lazio too did he not. An absolutely nonsensical suggestion really and would be a main stay for us if he didn’t run at full pelt for a goal line clearance against the post and f**k his knee.

Aidan Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 That's my understanding as well, can't remember who I was looking it up in reference to. Craig Gordon was facing this decision, I’m sure he had something like a week left before his insurance policy expired to either sign a legal document saying he’d officially retired and take the payout, or write it off and continue trying to get back. Worked out alright in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
